The leading hotel and leisure venue provider rooms4groups has announced a host of New Year deals for bands to grab for major events in 2025.

Looking forward

A spokesperson told 4BR: "For many bands the start of the new year means it's time to start looking at upcoming band competitions and trips for the coming months and beyond.

Our team are always on hand to help with your accommodation needs — all over the UK, Europe and worldwide.

We know that booking group hotels can be tricky and require lots of organisation so why not let us take the hassle out of your hotel bookings."

Check out

They added: "Check out our specially negotiated group hotels deals for 2025. We don't just help bands with hotels for organised events: If your band needs group hotels for your own tours, performances or any kind of band trip — anywhere in the world — just get in touch and we will hand select options to suit your requirements."

4BR was informed that rates are per room per night and based on a 2 night stay. Rates for non-UK locations are based on current exchange rates and subject to change.

Full details of room availability, rates, deposit, cancellation and payment terms will be advised per hotel on our full tailored quote.
